Clearly recorded by a mature artiste, this album is for the mature listener. There are many similar worship albums out there with a devotional style, with string sections, soft backing vocals and cardigans aplenty. This album however, delivers a much more simple and robust production. There is no mush, just simple solid music. Perhaps this is due to Marilyn Baker's confident yet not dominant vocal and keyboard lead. As well as songs of intimacy with the Lord, 'Overflow Of Worship' includes some livelier songs and two instrumentals. With an average song length of four to five minutes this is music to listen to patiently and by no means pop. I found the lyrics rather straightforward, lacking poetic depth or multiple levels of imagery, but this plain approach by no means detracts from the power of the subject matter and in fact matches the production style. In summary, this is a pleasant example of devotional music produced with a refreshing lack of sonic "soft focus". Well worth owning if, in your worship, you are willing to apply your own imagination to the simple yet powerful lyrics.

I want the Lyrick of the song "Seeing is believing" by Marilyn Baker.
